15 1who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 and 2the prophetsG4396, and 3droveG1559 us outG1559. 4They are not pleasingG700 to GodG2316, 5but hostileG1727 to allG3956 peopleG444, 16 6hinderingG2967 us from speakingG2980 to the GentilesG1484 7soG2443 thatG2443 they may be savedG4982; with the resultG1519 that they alwaysG3842 8 9reachG378 theG378 limitG378 of their sinsG266. But 10wrathG3709 has comeG5348 upon them 11fullyG5056.

17But we, brothersG80 and sisters, having been orphanedG642 from you by absence for a 12shortG2540 G5610 whileG5610--13in 14personG4383, not in 15spiritG2588--were allG4056 theG4056 moreG4056 eagerG4704 with greatG4183 desireG1939 16to seeG3708 your faceG4383. 18 17For 18we wantedG2309 to comeG2064 to you--I, PaulG3972, 19 20moreG2532 G1364 thanG2532 onceG530--and 21SatanG4567 22hinderedG1465 us. 19For whoG5101 is our hopeG1680, orG2228 23joyG5479 orG2228 crownG4735 of prideG2746, inG1715 theG1715 presenceG1715 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 at His 24 25comingG3952? Or is it not indeedG2532 you? 20For you are 26our gloryG1391 and joyG5479.
